I don't know about you, but I love the clarity andfocus of a puzzle. I start with the edges andmove on to specific colors or scenes.

Sometimes I have to change myperspective or walk away and come back later.It's amazing how even then, it can be hardto see what is sitting right​in front of you.

Like these gaps.I spent hours looking...I sorted thepieces by shape and color and still had no luck.Then my husband showed up and inless than two minutes, these​three holes were filled.

At first, I was mad.How dare he come along and ​make it look so easy?

And then, I remember.That's what makes a second opinionor a second set of eyes so valuable. New perspectivesmake something seemingly difficultappear simple and self-evident.How cool is that?

So in my last postI talked about Reparations and Carbon Offsets and how excited I am to share my family's offsets with our local Advance Transit.

It was easy to go online and set up sustaining monthlydonations. We've amortized what we owe, so we'llpay off our travel debt over time,while also supporting​an invaluable localresource.

When I thinkabout climate action,I realize it's all about sharing - not just the financial resources we may have,but also our time, ideas and points of view. It turns out thatcollaboration is critical, but so is having a plan, likestrategies for a jig-saw puzzle, or methods forpaying carbon debts we didn't evenrealize we had.

So I'vecreated an online 'class' that inspires people to divedeep, take control, and find joy as theyparticipate in guided actionthroughout 2019.​Stay tuned...If you are looking for a climate action plan, I've got one for you.
